The concept of limited forms of Wegener's granulomatosis.
摘要：
Four cases that support the concept of a limited form of Wegener's granulomatosis are described. The pathologic and pulmonary findings represent a variant of classic Wegener's granulomatosis, lacking the renal involvement that occurs with the latter. Findings on roentgenograms of the chest in most of our patients were those of multiple, bilateral, frequently cavitating thin-walled lesions, primarily in the lower lung fields. Microscopic evidence of vasculitis and separate necrotizing granulomas in pulmonary biopsy specimens which were culturally negative for microorganisms was a necessary finding for the diagosis of limited Wegener's granulomatosis. No specific pattern of response to prednisone therapy is evident in these cases.
